Chapter 1345 - Where did this cold light come from?
Song Shuhang smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said, “Just now, I got four kinds of Eighth Stage materials from a senior of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Sect. Adding that, we’re now only missing five more kinds before we have enough for the complete set.”
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue looked at Song Shuhang with distrust. “Only four? Did you really only get four kinds?”
Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, and said, “Fairy, four is already a lot. These are Eighth Stage materials, they aren’t something that can be found so casually.”
“I see. It is indeed not something that should be possible to pick up anywhere…” said Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue numbly.
Song Shuhang: “…”
At the side, the 20 masters from the Divine Beasts’ Sect were completely shocked by the forging techniques of Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue and Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue.
Those who knew nothing could only enjoy the scene, while those who were knowledgeable saw the truth.
When Song Shuhang watched Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue forge the treasures, he only saw it as the big and small hammers flying.
However, the 20 masters of the Divine Beasts’ Sect saw their control of the fire, the subtle hammering techniques they used as they forged magical treasures, the skill with which they forged… as well as all kinds of professional things.
Sage Monarch Tyrannical Song actually invited two expert forging masters to forge magical treasures for him! And one of them turned out to be the 7th Sage in a thousand years, Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue! This Sage Monarch was a great figure who was destined to be recorded in the history of cultivation and remembered by others.
Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue shouted, “Since you came to help, don’t just stand there and watch. Come and help us out.”
Its realm was fixed at the Fourth Stage, and it couldn’t transform into a human being. Therefore, even if it wanted to, it wasn’t able to help out the Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue and the Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue at all when they forged magical artifacts.
Under the guidance of Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue, the 20 masters quickly assumed their roles, and reduced the burden on Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue and Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue glanced at Song Shuhang, and asked, “Why are you still here?”
Song Shuhang replied, “Actually, I still have something to—”
“Stop!” Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue waved her palm. “Wait, let me mentally prepare myself first.”
Song Shuhang said, “It’s not related to materials at all this time. It’s a good thing.”
“Let me prepare myself. What is good news to you is not necessarily good news to me,” said Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue quickly, her tone filled with distrust of Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue put down the big and small hammer, took a deep breath, gently patted her big chest, and then did a set of stretching exercises.
Song Shuhang: “…”
After relaxing herself, she said, “Alright, go ahead. Make sure to speak slowly so that I can interrupt you at any time.”
“Fairy, have some trust in me.” Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue said, “Start talking.”
Song Shuhang said, “That senior is going to raise your reward.”
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s eyes shone. “How much per hammer?”
Song Shuhang waved his hand. and said, “It’s nothing of the sort!”
How could I let you continue to rend my heart with the ‘one hammer, one payment’ thing?
“What’s the reward, then? If it isn’t an increase in the price for each hammer strike, it doesn’t make much sense.” Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue sighed quietly.
At this time, Song Shuhang used secret sound transmission, and said, “You’ve been given a quota that will allow one person to free themselves from the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’. However, there is only one quota. After Fairy finishes forging the two sets of ‘Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure’, you can look for that senior and cash out on the reward.”
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue: “…”
This was indeed good news, but it was also very much problematic. If there was only one quota, should she use it on herself? Or give it to the Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue?
It stood to reason that as the quota was earned from her forging magical treasurers, she should use it on herself, but she couldn’t seem to find herself wanting to do so.
The Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue failed to reach the Fifth Stage Realm a very long time ago. As such, its realm was limited to the Fourth Stage Realm ever since. After she became the Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, she and the Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue have been together for an extremely long period. The relationship between the two of them was deeper than what ordinary people could imagine.
Although she would often kick it flying… Now that she was given this opportunity to free one of them from the shackles that bound them, she subconsciously wanted to give this opportunity to the Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue.
However, she also needed this opportunity.
If she couldn’t free herself from the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’, she would never be able to become companions with ‘Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’.
[Can I have two quotas?] asked Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.
Song Shuhang shook his head. [That senior specifically said that you will only have a single quota, and nothing can be used in exchange for a second quota. Not even 101 jokes are going to be enough.]
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue: “…”
What the hell is up with those 101 jokes? Is the freeing of either ‘Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue’ or me from the shackles of the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber only worth ‘101 jokes’?
Song Shuhang said, [You don’t have to decide right away as I don’t have all the materials yet, and most of my materials are still stuck inside the Wielder’s small black room. Moreover, it’s still going to take you a good while to forge the two sets of Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure. You have a lot of time to consider.]
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue suddenly stamped her foot, and said, “There’s nothing to consider. I will decide now.”
Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue, and all the masters from the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Sect looked at her in puzzlement.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue gritted her teeth, and said to Song Shuhang, “I will give the quota to the Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue. Tell this to that senior of yours, and that’s that. Don’t ask me whether or not I regret this decision!”
Song Shuhang nodded. “I understand, I will reply to the senior in this way.”
“Phew~” Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue sighed heavily, and finally softly said, “Thank you.”
Song Shuhang said, “You’re welcome.”
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue said, “No, that ‘thank you’ is for your senior.”
Song Shuhang’s face didn’t change. “I’ll accept Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s thanks in that senior’s place.”
She rolled her eyes and turned around, staring at Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue. “I’ll be counting on you!”
Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue smiled gently, and said, “Although I have no idea as to what you’re talking about, you can leave it to me.”
…In fact, Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue had already guessed the content of the dialogue between Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue and Song Shuhang. However, as Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue was nearby, he didn’t say anything about it, and pretended that he didn’t understand.
He also agreed with the decision… It was best to just let the Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue be free first. It had been restrained for too long.
Moreover, he had to personally free the Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue from the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’.
‘Personally’ was the key word here.
He had confidence in himself and his plans. Moreover, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber was also going to work with him in freeing her.
“Get the rest of the materials as soon as possible,” Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue cooly replied to Shuhang. “With the assistance of these people, I’ll forge the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure very quickly!”
Song Shuhang replied, “I’ll try my best. I hope that Senior White succeeds in catching a turtle soon.”
While they were talking, a cold light appeared in the Inner World out of thin air and stabbed him in his side.
